red currants Rosetta at the end of June 2006 - certainly not ripe enough

When we've got too many red currants we freeze them (simply wash them and let them dry a bit). In winter time we use it in a 'fresh' fruit salade, I mix them with the rest of the fresh fruits about half an hour before serving it, and it tastes just like fresh! The same applies for blackcurrants!
Currant bushes prefer partial to full sunlight, and can grow in most types of soil. They are relatively low-maintenance plants and can also be used as ornamentation.

No, I haven't, my mother used to do it, this way. Or perhaps I have done it a long time ago, I think I did (when I was young ;-)

See who else is growing Ribes rubrum (Redcurrant).
See who else has plants in genus Ribes.
I love redcurrant jelly with white meat my mother use to make it with a muslin cloth for clarity, do you make it?
